10+ of my co-workers at Google have left for permanent wfh positions in the last month or so, I suspect that significantly influenced their decision to change their stance.
Before that, their attitude was "people will vote with their feet" and when people started actually voting with their feet, this got announced pretty quickly.
- xiphias2 5y agoMy Googler friend already found remote jobs as he started looking a few months ago to go remote (moved from LA to Florida), and he says that he will probably move anyways as the other offers are great.
- philsnow 5y agoI was taken aback by how much more relaxed I felt in general after going 100% remote, after spending 10+ years commuting up to 4 hours round trip per day in the SF bay area. My comp is lower now but it's easily a net win.
- philsnow 5y agoI turned down a very good return offer with google because I knew I wanted to take a 100% remote job (and I let my recruiter know that). Yet another anecdata point.
